enabled to develop their own individual gifts and capacities to the best advan tage and to give them a sun and per manent basis in musical and technical knowledge by the assistance of ivhieh they will be able even without guidance aided by their own intelli gence and with their own powers to comprehend and to achieve the highest musical results our efforts will therefore lie directed to these eii-ls — to inspire the pupil wilh the fullest confidence in his own powers and resomces by imparting to him that fundamental ground-work of musical knowledge which will enable him to become a musician that is a master of music in the true and onl acceptable j-eiise of the term a depressing sign of the times in musical teaching is i be superficiality resulting from unintelligent or what may be termed the drill sergeant method of training with infinite pains a vast and useless expenditure of time iiid with mostly a one-sided accentu ation upon technical facility the pupii is coached in a piece of music whereby in a majority of cases the great fact are forgotten that the mere reproduc tion of musical notes is not the em and aim of musical instruction bul that great results in musical study car only be achieved by the adoption oi 1 he pedagogic idea that is o a sys tematic cour.-e of training which shall develop the mental as well as mechan ical faculties simultaneously how little the musical teaching of to-day fulfils tl.e demand ot its great mission is too frequently shown in th bungling performances of pupils both at home and in public instances are extremely rare in the history of the de velopment of music of really great ar tists having given themselves up to the thorough musical education of the younger generation or have made musical instruction the subject of scientific study to educate and produce masters of music t'.ie teacher himself must be a master musician a good piano player is not necessarily a good piano-forte teacher nothing artistic can be ac complished by purely empirical methods the same earnest thorough and fundamental study is necessary in the education essential for the profes sion of music teaching as for the achievements of the virtuoso during his many years of activity as director cf the conservatorium de musik und seminar zu berlin the undersigned has always made it his mission to place musical education and training upon a high scientific musical basis through the adoption of a rational system of instruction be has succeeded in attaining what had always appeared to him should be the ideal in the profession of musical teaching the attainment of musical freedom and independence through the fullest expression of individual fueling and thoughts for the instrumental student it is absolutely neces ary that his individual powers of musical expression shall be trained and developed to the fullest de gree of what usr is extraordinary brilliancy of technique i r it be not used in the service of the higher artistic idea what a deleterious influence upon music in general and upon the public have these virtuosi exerted to whom music was nothing more than a vehicle for the revelation of technical dexterity this deleterious influence has been noticed with regret by all true musicians and very properly con demned by the great critics true the public permits itself to be misled momentarily by such phenome nal displays but then cat be no excuse for the virtuoso who thus speculates upon the weakness of his audience through such false machine music we are constantly going down lull toward the point where mere piano-forte pro technics and commonplace trivializes aie received with enthusiastic applause it is the sacred duty of all true artists to earne.-tlv oppose thptnsel-ves to such a state of things that is to try to rescue musical taste from threatened disaster in this however success can only be attained by collaboration and co-operation witli cnlleagtifs inspired l»y the same honest and artistic animus fn harmony and co-operation with such excellent co-workeri i hopn to do my part in the prosperous development of conditions that will enable the ameri can musical pup.il to find in his

m ij reviewing the situation since the meet ing in cincinnati what i see i can not describe and what t hear is appall ing there is a hue and cry against a third pp.rtv and ri-t it seems thnt neither party is willing to join hands with the producers for justice and equity par.tv v and to serve ends at the expense of tho toiling millions is or seems to be the sile aim of the two dominant parties party first country second and 1 like to have said the peo ple third but in italics and a big n i will say xecer a change must come mid come quickly the situation de mands it the toiling millions de mand it they have asked for relief and hate not been heeded but the time is not far ahead when the demands of the labor unions will be both heard and hteded the third party has been named but it was some months old before it got its name the third party told ingalls to stay at home the third p-trty has been at work on mckinley sherman and reed the third party had something to do with wade hampton though it had no name and our vance of north caro lina felt its weight and many others will firel its weight in 1)2 there are some sore-heads now and 92 will add to that number if a change for the belter does not cyme the toiling millions of this country remind me of the israelites in egyptian bondage they have labored to fill the coffer of hie plutocrat long enough and no'.v a divine providence has sent a m ses polk to lead them from the oppressors power and behold aaron macune is with him whoever in may be ltt him always bear in mind the injunction of god to moses when the lied sea was in front of him walled in on both sides by insurmoun table barriers with pharoah's army in his rear speak to the children of real that they go forward for ward should be upon every tongue polk livingstone vvilletts and others have done a great work in alabama and mississippi oats george and the triuniveri who met at fort worth texas the committee that has already manipulated and circulated falsehoods such as sore-heads of the ass family can or will do should be walked over rough shod and placed in a back seat at home and made to sit there the people in the state in which they live should make them know that they are not the men to attempt to lead doss ism has been buried they have ere this shown themselves to be traitors to the trust placed in them they i^nt their aid in lending one million dol lars to the cotton exposition in new orleans yet when asked to aid the masses by secured loan unconstitu tional is the first thing you hear they voted to lend money out of the united states treasury when they knew it to be unconstitutional so they say and these are the men the solons of america who come forward and ask the people to be led by them all your nerve backbone and grit will be necessary to tide over and withstand i he oppressing forces in the next eighteen months therefore those who have been placed on the watch tower polk livingstone jones and every state and county president and lecturer should not fail to speak to the children of lsreal that they go for ward a majority of the democrats of north carolina belong to the alliance and they hold that a majority have a right to rule there they claim the right to demand and enforce those de mands they are going into the township county state and national caucuses and conventions and they in tend to be heard and felt they do not intend to disrupt the old parties but through them achieve all the good they can but ir the old parties still heed them not and force an indepen dent action on the part of the labor unions no blame can be attached to them they have tried both parties and what has been the result what do we hear every bill or petition pigeon-holed unconstitutional all ulung the line and still the cry comes disloyal to party the producers of this com try do not believe in or do they intend to be loyal to party when party is not byal to them a major ity of our representatives in both branches of our national legislature of both parties are and have been dis loyal to the people when i say people i mean a majority and leagued with plutocracy combines trusts c and never fail to strengthen the iron grip of wall street they whine class legislation every time a petition is presented for the relief of the producers an<l laborers when scarcely anything has been done in congress for the bust twenty-five years but class legislation exevpi extravagant and useless expen diture of money the funeral escort and burial expenses of senator hurst for example when any one who is not aide to pay burial expenses save a great senator or congressman is buried at public expense three dollars for a sap pine box is the price paid yet one hundred thousand dollars of the peo ple's raon»y is squandered in one l>nr ial the name of every man who voteu ''■ for this outrage should be underscored \ with a long black mark this is unconstitutional yes with a vengeanc — all right the one hun dred tloi sand dollars u a small amount lut let relief le msked n any shape for the living i mean the toiling producers and unconstitutional impracticable class legislation is howled in stentorian tones yet these men ask the people to stick to the old parties when the old parties are crush ing them to death thing should and must be changed the partj and party servants must belong to the peo ple and not the people to the party and party servants the party ser vants in office must ndfcjrt themselves to the needs and wishes of the people and not the people to the wishes and ideas of their servants no longer can it be said that this is the land of the free and home f the brave and home of the oppressed the people are in bondage worse than the israelites in egypt their's was a decree of god but the oppression here if the work oi the devil carried on by his tools in human shape it wrw forty years be fore the israelites reached the land bat the oppressed ?! this country in tend to gei there 1 in a shorter time than that and don't you forget it ff neither party will show its wis dom then the people of both demo cratic and republican parties who nre in favor of justice to all will show theirs one party will not do any thing if the other shares the credit w v ii lor for authority this government is said to be by the people but if you will look at the workings of congress for the last twenty-five years you will see it has been by a notorious set of demagogues in the paid interest of plutocracy trusts and combines 1 do not mean all but a majority who have disgrace 1 our national capital for the last twenty-five years it behooves all who are in favor of good and equitable government to put their shoulders to the wheel and move the chnriofc of re form as fast as possible and if there is any truth in the progressive farmer and national economlt and i think it is about all truth the people of this land are on a grand march for the news from the lashing billows of the atlantic to the ebbing waters of the pacific and from the northern lakes to the southern gulf tells of an onward march for liberty relief and justice the tariff as it now stands is an in cubus hideous in form upon the toiling consumers the pension bill in its present shape i a burning shame and disgrace to any country and the tariff and pension as they now exist are glaring bare-faced and insolent rob bery and any set of men who pretend to represent the interests of the people and perpetrate such outrages are too wean too base tou vile to herd with the common damned but should howl out their misery separate and alone through all eternity in a place of tor ment more hideous than was ever pic tured by the arch fiend himself therefore speak to the children of is rael that they go forward — roanoke in progressive farmer financiers under our wonderful system of finance — the most perfect ever devised ' — the administration declares it to be necessary to avoid contraction of the currency at a time when more money will be needed to move the crops to extend its interest bearing obligations as a basis for the issuance of a circula ting medium — the simple farmers also recognize the need of plenty of money at harvest time and have pro posed a plan for supplying it under the adminstrative plan bonds based upon the basis of the additional cir culation upon these bonds the govern ment pays two per cent of bank notes based thereon the people pay all the way from six to sixty per cent all of which goes to support a class who pro duce nothing and who render no es sential service to the country under the fanners 1 plan the govern ment would i>sue notes on the same security on which the national bank notes ultimately nst to the men on whose labor depends all real prosperity at a rate of interest to the government which the government now p»ys on its bi ip!s the one is the acme of ! perfection in the eyes of our states men (?). the other the rankest lun ' acy
